Justin Smith was a college of mine for many years, and he is the most thorough person you could ever meet, and would be meticulous in making sure tapes go on the right shelve, and everything as it should be, he’s also an extremely excellent person and was a very good person to know when I joined the BBC and he’s had this accusation banded around by home made doctor who websites for the last 10 years, and as he explained to me, if a film was more than an hour over due film library would be kicking there arses until the film was returned.

This question is directed towards Richard Bignall or someone else at the BBC.

If J Smith was such a thorough person and the film library were strict when It cam to returning borrowed films.

Then could it be possible the film was returned in the wrong can?
Would it be worth checking the Blue Peter programs around the time (DMP4 was used) to see what other film clips were used and check thoughs cans?

Has this been thought of before?

Thanks.
